THE SOUND BATH EXPERIENCE

Imagine sinking in to a “bath” of soothing sounds that take you on an inner journey of relaxation and transformation. By using frequency and “entrainment,” a sound bath facilitates a shift in brainwaves from our normal waking state to alpha and theta states that are akin to meditation—where true somatic healing can occur.

Feel free to bring an eye mask (if you choose to cover your eyes during the session), yoga mat and blankets provided.

CHAIR YOGA

with Joanna Ross-Tash

Sunday, February 3rd2-3:15pmTribeca $30

Have you seen those folding chairs in the back of the room and wondered "Why are those in a yoga studio?!" Yoga chairs are an immensely helpful prop for a yoga practice. The chair prop can deepen the experiences of common poses while making the practice much more accessible. We will explore deepening forward folds, enlivening backbends, and strengthening standing postures through the chair prop. Chair Yoga practice is for all bodies and all levels of yoga practice.

Breathwork FOR LETTING GO

with Maya Keane

Saturday, February 9th1:30-3:10pmDomino$40

Breathwork is an active meditation that helps you get out of your head and into your body where true healing can occur. It acts as an emotional cleansing that activates your energy system so you can feel and release all that you may have skipped through too quickly, or may have not given enough acknowledgment and validation to in the past. This self-healing modality can help you connect to your intuition and open your heart to the possibility of more self-love and self-acceptance. Powerful shifts and transformation can occur in a short amount of time and breathing in a group can feel especially potent and supportive.

Benefits from Breathwork may include stress and anxiety relief, clear thinking, feelings of lightness and joy, emotional release, grounding, inspired creativity, and more. Have a question about something in your life? Breathwork may even leave you with the clarity and answers you’ve been seeking.

The style of breathwork you'll do in this workshop is done laying down.

Workshop Leader:

Maya Keane is a Breathwork Facilitator in New York City. Her innate sensitivity has taken her on a journey of exploring her curiosities and continuous personal evolution and transformation. After years of thinking her empathy was her downfall, something that only caused her pain, she has now learned that it is her greatest gift. She believes that emotional health is key to wellbeing, and through feeling our feelings in a grounded, safe way, we can work through limiting beliefs, stuck energy, develop self-acceptance, and find clarity from our inner guidance. Maya holds safe space for self-discovery and healing using Breathwork in her one-on-one sessions and in groups.

What to do when you’re swiping, double tapping and liking yourself out of self love.

Flow with your Flo: A workshop on menstruation

with Joanna Ross-Tash

Sunday, February 10th6-8pmTribeca$40

The experience of a monthly menstrual cycle varies for everyone! For some, menstruating is an emotional and physical roller coaster. For others, it is just another function of the body. This workshop is designed to teach rituals and poses for this time of the month. Menstrual cycles and the moon cycle are often compared on energetic and archetypal levels. We will explore our lunar nature with its watery tides, emotions, and magnetic pulls. You will leave with a sequence of poses, breathing techniques, and meditations to help alleviate the challenges of a monthly cycle. Come with your notebooks, experiences, and questions!

VALENTINES MASHING

with Bonnie Crotzer

February, 15th7-9pmTribeca$35

It’s a V-Day Mash Party to show your loved one or your bestie how much you want them to feel good. Think candles, blankets and walkers!

Mashing: It’s like massage, but with your feet instead of your hands. Yup, it’s weird with someone walking on your hamstrings, but, hey, it’s less intense than an elbow digging into a knot! Think of rolling out, but in reverse. Mashing pressure is broad, not poke-y, plus you get the healing magic of human-to-human contact. Learn the basic how-tos, and practice communicating to your bud. (“Yikes! Less pressure there! Ooh, ooh, good spot!”) Bring a pal, or make a friend there and take them into full-blown parasympathetic mode, move their lymph and blood flow, and start to release their fascia — and then we will switch partners!. Also, we get to incorporate some Chinese medicine mapping to guide our mash.

Soft Animal Dance Workshop + Circle

with Natalie Deryn Johnson

Sunday, February 24th3-6pmChinatown$65

An afternoon of guided movement meditation, visualization and reflective improvisation. Through functional physical exercises as combined with improvisation, we deepen, enliven and liberate the flesh, creating a relation to sensitivity, strength and imagination.

The class allows one to become more intimate and creative with the self and others in the spaces between stillness and wild embodiment, silliness and sensuality.

Natalie Deryn seeks to use her performance and energetic studies as a dancing poet and reiki healer to create a body positive container prioritizing curiosity, depth of being and earnest expression. This event culminates in a circle ceremony and reflection journaling session.

Breathwork is an active self-healing meditation technique that uses the breath to emotionally detox the body. The experience moves stuck energy and facilitates release of strong emotions like anger and grief. It leaves you feeling softer, less burdened and with a great natural high.

After Breathwork, we will move seamlessly into a sound bath, taking time to find stillness, integrate, and reach a profound level of peace and inner quiet. Relaxing and restoring to the sounds of crystal singing bowls and tuning forks is the perfect setting to support the process of natural healing in the body and mind.
